And so it seems that decree has been passed by the committe at Tynemouth Sailing Club (venue revealed right there) and guests are NOT permitted at the gig on 24th July. This means people are not allowed INTO the club, because everyone going has paid for the event and they don't want interlopers, which is fair enough.
So, basically we have a situation where the weather is king.
If the weather is poor, the gig will be in the club and no-one will be able to come and see it
BUT
If the weathers fine, and those cruel people make us play on the roof, it seems folk can come and watch us play on the beach, (cos that's where the audience will be) on the premise that they then don't proceed into the club. I haven't been yet but there are apparently many vantage points where the set can be viewed from that are quite public, so maybe a protest can be arranged, placards and banners and people with torches! Or even people on porches?
So that's the basic idea. I understand where they're coming from but I really want to see you chaps there but I know it's tough, given that if it starts pissing down at 8pm, it'll be indoors and you won't see it. I guess I have to leave it all up to you folks to make a decision.
The set is due to begin at 9pm although I may petition for an 8.45pm start as we currently have a 14 song set mapped out, with new songs and everything!
I'll keep you updated on that
I'm planning a recce to the venue soon to see how vantageous the vantage points are
More soon
Cheers
